Belltown Inn

Location

They charged a fee of $100 on checking in. This was on top of the price agreed. No mention of this on Booking.com. They said it was to cover any damages and that it would be returned in 5 business days. Not at all happy with this practice.

Perfect location, you can walk everywhere, the staff were so helpful with dinner & activity recommendations and great value for money given the location - easy access to sights & public transport.

The hotel was in a good location and the rooms were really clean and comfortable.

This hotel does NOT offer any parking despite the description in the ad. They will charge you extra money with tax on top to park in a location away from the hotel. Anyone can book this for themselves for cheaper than what the hotel charges. Also, they wanted 30 dollars per night for parking when it is actually free to park outside the hotel overnight. The manager blamed it on booking.com.

We spent four nights here. It was a little pricey, but worth it. We liked the friendly and helpful 24/7 front desk service. The location was perfect, and as the hotel claims, you really can "walk to everything" - the waterfront, Pike Place Market, the Space Needle, restaurants, etc. There are lots of little neighborhood eateries, bakeries and a convenience store across the street. We especially enjoyed a little Italian place a few blocks away. The room was very small, but modern, well appointed with nice furniture and exceptionally clean. We asked for a quiet room and it was. (Fifth floor, facing courtyard.) We depended on our feet and the bus system to get around and it worked out great. There is a bus stop directly outside and a subway/rail stop ten minutes away by foot or three stops by bus. We were even able to catch a direct bus from our hotel way out to the Flight Museum for a dollar each (senior fare). What a deal! We were also impressed with the housekeeping service. Even though we waived the need for daily clean linens and towels, they still came in every day and straightened the bed, emptied trash, refilled coffee station, etc.

Be mindful that this is in the downtown area, and although we never felt un-safe, there are a lot of homeless people and apparent drug users in the immediate area. We had to walk by them, but they never approached, panhandled, or bothered us in anyway, maybe because the local police have a strong presence. Also, the hotel entrance has a security person after hours. The morning of our departure, we left very early and walked to the subway/rail system (about ten minutes) to catch train back to the airport (about 30 minutes), and the streets were virtually empty of homeless people, so we can only surmise that there are anti-loitering rules during certain hours.

Excellent desk staff. Inn is well located on a major bus route from center city. It is fairly close to Link the transit line to the airport. It is good walking distance to the waterfront. There are a lot of restaurants very close to the Inn.

staff helpful and room clean. Walking distance from downtown Seattle.

view point of a wall from the window! It wasn't a problem, but would have been if I had wanted a view.

Hotels in Seattle are very expensive during Summer time and Belltown Inn seamed a good choice since we're first time visitors and would like to be near the city's major attractions. In case you're travelling with a car, keep in mind that the property doesn't have a parking lot, however there is a public and private park next block. Ask the reception for a daily pass, $30,00 ea. The roof top is okay, nothing impressive to be honest. The rooms are clean, otherwise small. It's good choice for a few nights in the city.

There was a signage about a closed section of the stairs during our stay - other guests also found it confusing - but when my husband suggested a change in the signage to make it clear, the staff at the reception took it badly, saying that "there was nothing wrong with that", in a rude manner.

Room was very clean and updated! We walked to the sights that we wanted to visit. Fairly easy walk to Pike Market and Space Needle, we also walked to the Starbucks Roastery. We stayed a few days before our Cruise so we could see some of the sights of Seattle. We rode the lite rail from the airport to the station a few blocks away from the hotel, so it was economical in means of transportation. There are also bus stops around the hotel if needed. They also have access to a shuttle service to the pier for around $10, which we were not aware of prior to our stay, but the front desk clerk informed us

The only thing that remotely comes to mind are that there are a lot of homeless people on the street, but the hotel was very nice and also had security. The homeless didn't really bother us, so I am really not complaining.

We loved to room. It was great we loved the location and that we could walk to everything.

The homelessness outside and down the street through us off initially.

The lobby is inviting and the staff was incredibly accommodating (roll away bed and pack n play for baby). We paid for off site parking which was not a big deal. Great value, would definitely come back.

The area around the hotel had a lot of homeless, drug use and mentally ill people. I did not always feel safe.
